Fabulous place to stay. Newly renovated with lovely furnishings. Really welcoming and helpful staff. Room was spotlessly clean. Lovely shower and hot water that was immediate. Slept like a log. Breakfast upstairs was great - lots of variety in the breakfast choices.

Exceptional motel - one of the best I've stayed at recently ( and we've been back from Europe only 3 months ) - our only problem was we had was a fairly decent storm that ripped thru Traralgon during the night - and being upstairs and having a balcony sliding door facing the wind direction, the noise of the wind made sleeping difficult
